Chapter 271 Blocked Position
Before Endo Yasuhito was about to pass the ball, he looked up and observed the situation. He was sure that the direction he wanted to pass was his teammates. There were absolutely no Chinese players wearing red jerseys. He was sure of this. After all, red and There is a big difference between blue and he is not red-blue blind. E small 』Ω Δ says WwΩW. 1XIAOSHUO. COM
But when he was pressed by the Chinese players, he looked down at the football and passed the football. Then he looked up to observe the target of his pass. As a result, on that route, he saw red clothes - Zhou Yiyi Foot, stopped the football!
His eyes widened, and he couldn't imagine when Zhou Yi appeared there. It was just the effort of lowering one's head. How long did it take? How could Zhou Yi appear in that place in such a short time?
However, the Chinese players who besieged him reacted much faster than him.
Seeing Zhou Yi intercept the ball, Hao Junmin and He Ying quickly dispersed to both sides, leaving Yasuhito Endo alone.
Zhou Yi didn't hesitate when he got the ball. He kicked the ball diagonally in front of He Ying.
He Ying didn't even need to reduce, but added to catch up and caught the ball.
At this time, he can already directly face the Japanese team's back line.
The person standing in front of him was Japanese team defender Maya Yoshida.
In fact, Maya Yoshida should be familiar to all international players who came to the national team from the Chinese Olympic team, because when the Chinese and Japanese Olympic teams met in the Olympic finals, the captain of the Japanese Olympic team was this person. Young player Maya Yoshida.
Facing Yoshida Maya's blockage, He Ying's upper body swayed, his shoulders dropped to the left, and the outside instep of his right foot moved the football to the right. At the same time, with a plus, he rushed into the penalty area!
"He Ying has made a breakthrough!" Duan Xin, the on-site commentator, shouted excitedly.
Deafening cheers also erupted from the stands of Helong Stadium.
He Ying, who broke through, took a shot amidst cheers.
The football was slightly higher than the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line from the back point...
"Oops! What a pity! The ball didn't go in!"
The Japanese commentator exclaimed: "What a risk! What a risk! It's just a little higher!"
The game has just begun,
The Chinese team had a threatening shot first, which immediately excited the Chinese fans in the stands. Even if the goal did not go in, everyone was still happy.
This shows the momentum of the Chinese team!
In such games, momentum is often the most important thing.
※※※
He Ying's shot attracted everyone's attention and discussion. Zhou Yi's previous strange performance was temporarily put aside by everyone, and no one cared.
Next, the game continues.
The Japanese team saw that the Chinese team threatened their goal with a shot, and they also knew the importance of momentum. If the Chinese team is allowed to suppress its momentum like this, it will not be easy to play in the next game.
In order not to lose to the Chinese team in terms of momentum, of course they have to make some reactions.
Shinji Kagawa answered with a long shot just outside the penalty area.
This was a high-quality long-range shot. Sun Pan didn't dare to use his hands when he pounced on the ball, but used his fists to hit the football out.
The football was played wide. The Japanese team's forward Maeda Ryoichi happened to pull to the wing and received the ball.
After adjusting, he started to pass.
Guo Nu got ahead of Shinji Okazaki, jumped up and pushed the football out.
Then the Chinese team took advantage of the situation and made a counterattack. Hao Junmin passed the ball in front of the goal. He Ying was a little late and failed to touch the football!
"Oh! He Ying! If he touches the ball, it can be said that he will score a goal!"
Duan Xin almost slapped her thigh.
He Ying was also very upset for missing this opportunity. He patted the ground hard before getting up from the ground.
Although there was no goal, the Japanese team was still very afraid of the Chinese team's quick counterattack. Because the Chinese team had an advantage, the Japanese team was very careful about counterattacks before the game.
Just now, the Japanese team launched a massive attack and was hit by a counterattack by the Chinese team. They quickly made adjustments and returned to the path of passing back and forth to control the rhythm. This is what Zaccheroni asked them to do before the game.
When the Japanese team fell behind in the midfield, the Chinese team pounced on it like a mad dog.
The game returned to the situation it had just begun.
At this time, someone else noticed Zhou Yi Deke's "laziness" and "passivity".
Is it really a big deal?
Duan Xin didn't believe that Zhou Yi could act like a big star, but he had to give a reasonable explanation. He couldn't turn a blind eye to it, right?
Fans have noticed such an obvious thing.
If he pretends not to see it, he will be scolded to death.
So he was observing Zhouyi very carefully.
It really made him see something.
He found that Zhou Yi was not lazy, he was also running, but he did not directly attack the opponent's ball player, but his range of movement was not small, and his movement speed was not slow...
At this time, on the court, a Japanese player once again sent a pass to his teammates.
Almost at the same time, Zhou Yi suddenly took a step across, stretched out his foot, and stopped the football!
A light bulb lit up in Duan Xin's mind at the same time - he understood what was going on!
But now, he didn't have time to explain to everyone, but shouted excitedly: "Zhou Yi! He intercepted the Japanese team's pass in the midfield again!"
This time, because the ball was intercepted near the center circle, Zhou Yi did not pass the football out immediately, but chose to control the ball.
Because there is no good opportunity now, if he passes the football out rashly, he will just return the football to the Japanese team.
If there is a good opportunity, of course he will not hesitate, just like the kick he gave He Ying just now. But if there is no good opportunity, controlling football on your own side is the most correct choice.
In football games, there are too many examples of opponents making mistakes in the backcourt, resulting in the change of possession of the ball. As a result, the offensive team failed to handle the ball due to impatience, resulting in lost opportunities.
Seeing that Zhou Yi was not in a hurry to launch a counterattack, Duan Xin had time to explain to everyone what he had just realized: "When the Chinese team surrounded the Japanese team, Zhou Yi seemed to be an alternative. But he was not lazy. , we find that Zhou Yi is always changing positions on the court, and his running is not aimless, or it is a symbolic run. He is looking for the passing route of the Japanese team. In this way, he You can intercept the Japanese team's pass by knowing the Japanese team's passing route in advance. Just like this ball... Of course, He Ying's shot after the opening also came from Zhou Yi's frontcourt interception... This This is proof that Zhou Yi uses his brain to play football!"
In fact, not only Duan Xin saw it, but also the Chinese and Japanese reporters in the media gallery.
They talked a lot: "It seems that Zhou Yi didn't just happen to appear in that position, right?"
"Well, once can be said to be lucky, but twice? And I bet, maybe three or four times in the future..."
"I also think Zhou Yi did it on purpose. He seems to be very familiar with the Japanese team's passing routes..."
"Is this Zhou Yi's ability? I remember that he occasionally performed like this when he was in Dortmund?"
"No wonder Zhou Yi doesn't have to run like a mad dog. He directly goes to grab the Japanese player with the ball. Maybe it's not necessarily a good thing..."
Some people also analyzed Zhou Yi's actions on Weibo, and they were quickly recognized by the vast majority of people.
Of course, no one is willing to think that Zhou Yi didn't go up to grab it because he was a big name. With Zhou Yi's image and status in the minds of the fans, it is impossible for him to do such a thing. So everyone has more reasons to believe the current explanation, and this explanation also reflects Zhouyi's awesomeness...
※※※
The Japanese team later discovered that Zhou Yi's movement was very strange.
This does not need to be verified every time Japanese players pass the football to Zhou Yi's feet.
The Japanese team players sometimes wanted to pass the ball during the kick, but found that Zhou Yi was stuck on the passing route he was optimistic about, so he could only retract his original idea, protect the ball again, and pass the football to Go the other way.
After doing this many times, the Japanese players naturally discovered that there was actually a lot behind Zhou Yi's seemingly "lazy" movement...
So the Japanese team also had to temporarily adjust their tactics, no longer playing too many reverse kicks, but playing the football forward.
In this way, the two teams started an offensive battle.
Because both sides have qualified, the outcome does not affect the biggest goal, so they can be relatively open.
This is actually the game that media fans like to watch the most - after a wonderful offensive battle, the team they support wins.
